I welcome any all support for such a role.


While I've been pretty static with my MIMEdefang config now, I still read the 
list.

I would also vote to have Kevin step into said position.

(two thumbs up)

I think this is great news. I have interacted with Kevin as a fellow 
SpamAssassin & MIMEDefang user for a dozen years, worked with him more 
closely since 2016 as a SpamAssassin committer and ASF member, and 
worked as an independent consultant for PCCC (and hence with Kevin) 
since 2018. I don't believe there could be a better caretaker for 
MIMEDefang as an OSS project in lieu of Dianne.

I haven't been very active with MIMEDefang in recent years, but I have
been using it for over 15 years now.
Kevin has provided useful assistance on this list as well as
contributing to the code as well for at least as long as I've been using it.

For what it's worth, he gets my vote as well.

I would love to see MIMEDefang continue as an actively-developed
open-source project.  I know Kevin and think he'd be an excellent
person to lead the project, whether it continues under the MIMEDefang
name or changes to a new name.

I'm not in a position to support this project for the next 18 months or
so, unfortunately, other than to provide a vote of confidence for Kevin.

Regards,

Dianne.
